Like most of my friends in college, seldom does an hour pass when I don’t check my Facebook page. Now my favorite pass-time has gotten a socially responsible face lift with the Causes application. Allowing users to start, join and donate to charitable causes. Environmental non-profits include the Sustainable Style Foundation, Global Green and Live Green. My personal fave is the viral Plant-A-Tree app, which allows me to give “trees” to my pals, translating into real planted foliage that absorbs CO2 and produces oxygen. If my buddies are any indication of the larger teen population, we think Facebook has hit on a killer way to engage young adults in socially responsible networking! See you online! Best, Omar
